...same pen is also dull, verbose, untheatrical. They will be surprised, for in none of Broadway's numerous playhouses is such a constant, hilarious furor maintained. With hands discreetly hiding the lips that betray unseemly amusement, the audience chortles furtively but distinctly. For this Pirandello play is broad. Sea Captain Petella, a blustering fellow, who returns to his wife once every three months or so, absolutely refuses to do his natural duty as a husband. He wants no more children. Professor Paolina assumes the Captain's domestic responsibilities with embarrassing consequences. Mrs. Petella will have a child...

...which climbs to a gap at the southern end of Langley ridge called Army Pass, and so on to the head of Rock Creek, a tributary of the Kern River, which itself finally reaches the San Joaquin valley at Bakersfield. Emerging into the pass, we came out on a broad granite plateau sloping gently west, an abrupt change from the tremendous cliffs skirted by the trail coming up from the east, and soon descended to first water and timber line, following Rock Creek down to 9,500 feet, three miles above its final plunge into the tremendous canyon...
...summit is a broad, gently-curving dome of white granite, with many large blocks loosened by the weather, and, until one approached the edge and looked down to the base of the tremendous vertical cliffs, all seemed gentle and smiling, for we had a warm, still day. The next day it snowed and visitors were peevish. The view, of course, is immense--peaks on peaks for hundreds of miles, forests and valleys, lakes and streams...
